The reason the gun is upward is you probably rotated the mountPoint in the gun, or mount0 or whatever mount you are using is rotated accidently when you modeled the player. Have you tried to see if every weapon youve made faces up with other weapons?

How do add mount points? I'm using Milkshape for my modeler

The most important ones you'll need to worry about are;
mountpoint - where the gun is mounted to the corresponding mountpoint on the player's hand
ejectpoint - where shells are ejected
muzzlepoint - where projectiles are fired from

Just use a joint and name it accordingly.The most important ones you'll need to worry about are;
mountpoint - where the gun is mounted to the corresponding mountpoint on the player's hand

Important: When you make the joints they shouldnt be connected by bones. they should all be freestanding.

Do i need joints on the gun too?

That's the only place you need the joints listed above. Don't use those joints on the player, player setup is diffferent than weapon setup.

For the player name a joint mount0 attached to the player's hand and your gun's mountPoint will mount there. that should have you covered.
